Chapter 9: Pride

After the man took care of it briefly, he immediately returned to his original well-dressed appearance, and the medicinal properties in his body seemed to have dissipated, except for the thin red between his eyebrows, he couldn't see that there was any loss of control at all.

"I'll take my car later." He suggested lightly.

Mu Xi pinched the crumpled hem of her skirt and swallowed the words of refusal.

Half an hour later, the champagne-colored Maybach stopped on the side of the road.

"Thank you, Mr. Chi, for giving me a ride."

Mu Xi turned sideways slightly, and was about to say the words that had been brewing all the way in one go, when a bank card appeared in front of him.

"Here's five million."

She listened to the number and swallowed unconsciously.

"Two points, first, being on call, and second, during the existence of the relationship, it is not allowed to talk to others."

The requirements are simple and reasonable, not to mention that the other party still has such good own conditions, if it were someone else, I am afraid that he would have happily agreed.

But for Mu Xi, it was a thunderbolt from the blue.

Looking at the handsome silhouette hidden in the dark, for a while, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Time has passed, and roles have been reversed.

Perhaps, this is retribution.

"I'm sorry." Mu Xi straightened her back, just like when they first met, her chin was slightly raised, her neck was slender and elegant, and she said loudly, "Three points, first, thank you for patronizing last time and helping me get through the difficulties, second, I have the ability to support myself and don't need to undertake this long-term business, and third...... Cherish the people in front of you, there are some things that cannot be exchanged for money. ”

After saying these high-sounding words, she took out a post-it note from the bulging backpack beside her, hurriedly wrote down a string of numbers, and patted it on the armrest box in the middle.

"This is a bank account number, you can make a direct payment, tonight's matter, the right should be a thanks, but there is no next time, you are highly educated, I believe you will not know the law again."

"Mr. Chi, goodbye."

Mu Xi wrapped his coat tightly, braved the night breeze, and walked step by step towards the tube building in the deep alley.

The old light bulb flickered and flickered, intermittently illuminating the road under her feet, and also illuminating the stubbornness in her eyes.

See you again, please.

"Mr. Chi?"

It wasn't until the hesitant voice of the driver in front of him came out of the microphone that the figure in the darkness moved.

"Go back to the company."

"Okay."

The driver was not surprised at all, after all, the newly appointed president has almost made the company his home since taking over Donghuan.

Outside the car window, dappled lights and shadows flew by.

Chi Shao first dialed the special assistant's phone: "Lead a few reporters to take their cameras to box 304, shoot clearly, don't waste Mr. Zhang's wine." ”

On the other end of the phone, Gu Wenyi reacted quickly: "Zhang Zedong is really in a hurry to jump off the wall, for the sake of Chengchuang's case, he actually dares to drug on such an occasion!" Suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Chi, are you okay, do you need me to accompany you to the hospital......

"No, I'm fine."

Without waiting for Gu Tezhu to understand what the word "already" meant, he hung up the call.

Then, cut into the dialog box with Bethesya.

The last one was to tell her that she was in the pantry on the third floor.

Later, I didn't reply.

[I'm sorry, I was really uncomfortable just now, so I didn't wait for you to leave first]

The other side quickly replied understandingly: [It's okay, it's me who is too slow, where are you now, why don't I go over and look for you?] I don't know how to cook, but it's okay to make a decanting soup.]

[No thanks]

After replying to this sentence, he didn't look at the news again, leaned back to the headrest, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.
